FAO officials on Monday requested to take immediate steps to force bio -safety, monitoring and rapid response system to stop its destruction to give information to the members of Rome on the spread of the virus.
FAO Deputy Director General Godfrey Magvensi said that this crisis “will have a serious impact on food security and food supply to countries, including the necessary nutrition, rural employment and income, loss of local economy and rising costs on customers.”

People around the world depend on the meat and chicken for eggs for their diet. In such a situation, the challenge is not only to prevent the virus, but also to protect the food production system.
The spread of the virus, economic impact is also being felt around the world. According to the US Customer Price Index, the price of eggs in the United States reached a higher level in February.
At this time, farmers have been forced to kill more than 60 million chickens so far. Most of these were included in the egg -lang chicken.
It is reported that more than 3 million chickens have been killed in the United States this year.
Hard to deal alone
FAO’s Deputy Director Bath Bahmal describes the H5N 1 virus as “transboundary” which is a threat that is not limited to any country’s border, so that no country can deal alone.
He emphasized the need for integrated reactions worldwide.
In view of this crisis, the FAO and the Animal-Abe’s World Organization (WAH) (OOH) have developed a ten-year global strategy to prevent and control high-pathological Avian influenza.
Bahdol said, “We can reduce the effect of Avian influenza together and protect both the local and worldwide animals and human health.”
In the last four years, H5N1 has spread its legs in a new place, causing greater damage to the number of livestock chickens, disrupted food supply and prices of chicken.
About 5 new wild species have been damaged since 2021, which is a serious threat to biodiversity.
Combined verbs and innovations
The FAO has revisited his promise to global observation, share data and his promise to technical direction, which helped countries prevent the virus.
Bahdal describes the role of the private sector as important, especially for vaccine, diagnosis and development of high quality animal health care.
In the past two years, the FAO has a number of pestilence projects to monitor the outbreak, primary precautions and strengthen the health infrastructure to prevent its outbreak in the future.
